National Pancake Day

In honor of National Pancake Day this coming Wednesday (September 26), we decided to make pancakes this weekend! Making pancakes on Wednesday is not realistic for us because I have to work all day, but Sunday, now that's the PERFECT pancake day.

Zayit slept in until 6:30, ah... it's a good day. We headed downstairs and gathered our ingredients together and started cooking. Well, sort of. It seems that Mommi hard boiled all the eggs the day before! Ugh. Zayit and Mommi convinced the most amazing Daddy that it would be a great idea to run to the local convenience store and grab some eggs. What a good guy he is! While Daddy was off getting eggs, Zayit and I started measuring. I've found that when working with a toddler, it's best to do the measuring into separate containers and let him pour into the main bowl. We used a very traditional, non-healthy recipe, but it makes the BEST pancakes! (and even though it isn't the best, it is HFCS free)

Don't be afraid to cook with your Littles! Involving them in daily chores and activities is very helpful for their development. I find that Zayit is much more willing to try things if he has participated in making them.
